The busiest shopping season of the year is here! When making your holiday purchases, consider spending at a local business. But what does it really mean to shop locally? When you shop at independent or local-to-you businesses, more money is kept within your community because local businesses often use or buy from local service providers, farms, and companies. Buying locally helps grow other businesses as well as your region’s tax base. Can you identify the #HanoverVA businesses in the Shop Local Here In Hanover, VA video?
